Soldiers PaniCe.

In South Africa, tho disaster Of Is
ndlhwana gave the soldiers nerves
severe shaking, and it often happened
thas false alarms at night led TO the
rouslng OF whole camps. and sometimes
even to reckless discharge of firearms.
In some cases friendly natives, or even
comrades, were taken by the excited
imagination of sentry for enemies; in
others. unoffending cattle, even a bush
or shrub, became the innocent cause
or fusilade sufficient 10 have dealt
widespread destruction to Il host Of
Lulus. An odd incident illustrative OF
the slightness Of the cnuso--0r even.
perhaps, of the absence Of any cause at

on the night of Tcl-el-Kcbir amid q
small corner of tho force that was

IN the middle of tho night when all

Trouble for NIutson.

1T Is evident from tho tono of the
Chicago papers that Sheriff NIatson is
not to bo allowed to escape censuro for
tho manner in which he executed the
duties Of his Office during the trying
period which began with the Doodle
trials and ended with the hanging of the
Anarchists: Why he has escaped criti-

the ground that it might have weakened

The Gusher of Gushers.
TKokomo Gazette Tnbune.I


The junction gas well-No. Although it
had steadily gained in power and pressure
from the first, was not showing up to the
entire satisfaction of the stockholders of
the company, and it was decided to shoot
it with charge of nitro. glycerine. AS soon
as this was determined upon word was sent
to Mr.. Callahan, Of Lima, Ohio, who is
known to be an experienced man in this
line, and he arrived in town Friday night,
having driven overland from Lima in a
carriage and carried the explosive with
him.
Nitro-glycerine is composed of nitric
acid, sulphuric acid, glycerine and water,
in different proportions. Saturday at 10
O'Clock, after due preparation, well No.
was shot, with magnificent results, the vol
ume of escaping gas since the operation be-
ing fully three times what it was before,
thus placing this well at the front of all
others in the Kokomo field for capacity.
A dull thud was all the indication to the
spectators that "the thing had gone off,"
which was immediate followed by terrific
upheaval of water and stones, which were
thrown above the top of the derrick. And
then how the gas roaredl The sound OF
the escaping fluid from the larger pipe was
perfectly desfenipg. One could scarcely
hear oneself think, and as for talking and
being heard in close proximity to the es-
cape-pipe, that was utterly Impossible,
though you should yell till you broke a
blood vessel.
Itwas the big well. Every body acknowl-
edged that to themselves instantly. 1t was
the hummer of hummers; 1t was the gusher
of gushers; il was the first 400-pound well
in Indiana and dry as a powder horn
The explosion threw out all the surface
water, and Contractor Churchill gives it as
his opinion that the well when packed will
be perfectly dry.
The blaze of lighted gas shoots fifty feet
into the air despite the strong wind. After
night and in still air II will doubtless reach
level with the top of the derrick-a height
of eighty feet.
The question of what city has the biggest
gas well in Indiana is solved-at least for
the present. Kokomo has it over any
other town in the State, and 100 pounds
pressure to spsrel If any man, woman or
child in the State doubts this statement,
we are ready to prove it by putting on the
pressure gauge, and let them bring on their
own gauge. Now, all ye howlers; all ye
ambitious seekers after wealth and glory,
come to the front. Put up or shut up.

NoBLEsvILLE, April 24.-Our little city is
thronging with capitalists from all parts of
the East to see our gas we'll and to invest
in real estate. Yesterday quite number of
sales were consummated. Citizens have
purchased tracts of land south of town,
and now hold out inducements to capital
lists to come and erect manufactures. We
have tract of land to donate, together
with good well, to any man or company
who will come here and establish large
manufacturing interest. The north side
will be built up with fine brick business
rooms, and gentlemen have been negotiat-
ing with owners of the west side, which is
all frame buildings, for the purpose of
building large brick business rooms. Two
lots adjoining the public square were
sold yesterday, and large
hotel will be built on the
ground this summer. There are new der
ricks completed, and drilling will COM
mence for gas or oil at once. Well No. 1
now throws out patches of oil at times, and
experts say if the well had been drilled
four or five feet deeper it would have been
flowing oil well. Messrs. H. o. Patch &
Co. intend piping the city from their well
when completed on the Swain farm, Just
across the river, and this competition with
the old gas company will insure gas at %
cents per month for each stove. While
JonesboIo has such an enormous well as
reported in the Sentinel of Friday, No.
blesville contends that she has the boss
gusher of Hoosierdom.
